On my travels, I came across a naive style of silk embroidery on linen. The bold flowers in vibrant colours are very attractive and not unlike Jacobean crewelwork embroidery. The sparse German literature on the topic actually revealed quite a compelling story. Lay people embroidered these vestments to replace the vestments destroyed during the Reformation.

This eBook is about the silk embroidery found on linen vestments from Tyrol, dating to the early 17th century. It provides historical background, where to find it, and line drawings and instructions to stitch 8 flowers from these vestments: Carnation, Viola, Tudor Rose, Tulip, Wild Rose, Tiger Lily, Campanula, and Peony. All you need is fine linen and filament silk.
